"Campaigners today called for the British private security corporation G4S to be held to account for its involvement with Israel’s unlawful detention of Palestinians.The British organisation War on Want is calling for the British private security corporation G4S to be held accountable for its involvement with Israel's unlawful detention of Palestinians, following Saturday's death of Palestinian prisoner Arafat Jaradat from possible torture.

Five years ago G4S signed a contract to provide security systems for major facilities run by the Israel Prison Authority. War on Want notes that the company has supplied not only the Megiddo jail, where Jaradat died, but other prisons including Keziot and Jerusalem's Russian Compound detention facilities."
